Eigenvalues of a block matrix with zero diagonal blocks
Suppose $A$ is a $k_1\times k_2$ matrix with real entries, $k_1<k_2$. Let $M$ be the matrix
\begin{equation}
M:=\begin{pmatrix}
0_{k_1} & A\\ A^\top & 0_{k_2}
\end{pmatrix},
\end{equation}

Minimum of $\mathrm{rank}\left( \boldsymbol{W} \boldsymbol{H} \right)$, with $\boldsymbol{W}$ block diagonal
Let us assume that we have a full-rank $(n\cdot l)\times k$ matrix, $\boldsymbol{H}$, with no specific structure (e.g., a realization of a Gaussian i.i.d. random matrix), and an $m\times (n\cdot l)$ ...

Algebra of block matrices with scalar diagonals
I am interested in block matrices $A$, that is $A\in M_{n\times n}(R)$ where $R=M_{s\times s}(k)$ and $k$ is a field, such that for every positive integer $m$ the matrix $A^m$ has only scalar blocks ...

A_{21}&A_{22}&\ldots&A_{2n}\\
\vdots&\vdots&\ddots&\vdots\\

eigenvalues of a square block matrix
How can we show that there are not defective eigenvalues for this square block matrix of dimension $2d \times 2d $: \begin{bmatrix}
A&B\\-B& 0
\end{bmatrix}
where A, B are real matrices, $A =\...

Eigenvalues of block-hermitian matrices with zero diagonal blocks
I have a matrix of the form
$$D = \left( \begin{array}{cc} 0 & C \\ C^{\dagger} & 0 \end{array} \right)$$
where $C$ is not necessarily hermitian. In general, can we say anything about the ...

When does the determinant distribute over addition?
When does $\det(A+B)=\det(A)+\det(B)$ hold?
I actually wonder if there is an easy answer for when $Per(A+B)=Per(A)+Per(B)$.
